Shiplap uses a rabbeted overlap where one board laps the next, creating a distinct shadow line that emphasizes horizontal courses, while tongue & groove uses a projecting tongue on one edge that fits into a mating groove for a tight, interlocking seam. These joint types influence installation tolerances, movement under humidity, and the finished appearance of walls, ceilings, or siding.
Aromatic Cedar Closet Liners: Natural Benefits, Installation, and Maintenance Guide
Aromatic cedar liners deter moths and certain fabric pests primarily through volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from the heartwood; these compounds interact with insect olfactory receptors and reduce attraction or feeding behavior on stored textiles. Typical targets include clothing moth larvae and other fabric-feeding larvae; cedar’s oils are not a guaranteed exterminant but act as a preventative layer that lowers pest activity in properly maintained storage.
